    Oh wonderful, it’s an old pc my job was throwing out last summer so it’s like a 5-8yo intel. It’s not powerful by any means, but if I can run enough on it to justify the standby power draw it would be great.

    Unfortunately I still have no idea wtf I’m doing lol, but worst case I break it all and wind up buying a home assistant green. I’ve committed to ensuring my home has good air and this is a project I think we’ll appreciate me following through with

      Tbf, if you know how to install Linux from a usb drive the proxmox should be a breeze. After you run though the install, go to the url it prints out and mess around. The UI is pretty straight forward.

        Well the good news is I know now that my problem continues. Idk why haos couldn’t ping GitHub and proxmox can’t ping 8.8.8.8, while ubuntu server freely accessed docker, but at least I know I’m not crazy in this way

        Oh good. Ubuntu server and docker are being a real learning experience which while I appreciate I would prefer a bit of hand holding from my os

      There’s a quick start script to install home assistant after you’ve set up proxmox. I’ve been running it with no issues for months
